Tage Thompson scores over one point per game
Last season, Thompson led the Buffalo Sabres in scoring with 68 points. This year, let’s go bold and project he scores over a point per game. At the same time, I want to remain realistic and project him to score no more than 1.10 points in each contest, so across 82 games, he will sink 90. If he plays in just 70, look for 77 points.
Coupled with the career high in points per game is a career-best in points overall. And while his contract extension received mixed reviews, I do believe Thompson will show he was more than worth the money and contract length in Year One of the deal.
His big year in 2021-22 was no fluke, and he wont just prove doubters wrong next season; Thompson will once again lead the top scoring line and show that their budding chemistry was also legit. Expect to have a fun time watching Thompson score, score, and score some more, silencing the doubters and critics.
